Nine thousand years old [rebirth]

After a night of torture and interrogation, Xue Shu pried open the prisoner's mouth, but he didn't find much useful information—the other party was just a small part of the whole plan, and was ordered to lure the demon fox to the Emperor's Palace on New Year's Eve .

As for the others, the other party does not know.The only thing that is certain is that the person who sent them the letter was someone close to Taoist Wangchen.

——This coincides with Xue Shu's guess.

If he hadn't made a move last night and the demon fox's appearance caused panic, the biggest vested interest would probably be this Taoist Wangchen.

The Huangji Hall is located in the south, but the Xuanqiong Palace where Taoist Wangchen is located is in the northeast of Yanwang Palace. At that time, when the incident happened suddenly, Emperor Longfeng ordered people to invite Taoist Wangchen in a panic, and horses were not allowed in the palace. It will take two quarters of an hour at the fastest.

But when Taoist Wangchen appeared that night, he was well-dressed and calm, with an immortal demeanor, obviously well prepared.

Xue Shu locked the candidate in his heart, so he went to Ciqing Palace again to borrow someone from Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin, who had just arrived on duty, was leading a team of guards to inspect the Eastern Palace. When he saw him approaching with blood all over his body, he was startled, with a confused look on his face: "You are..."

"The prisoner's interrogation is over, lend me a team of people, and I'll go get them, so they don't run away." When facing people he doesn't like, Xue Shu is always extremely impatient, and even his tone of voice is not polite.

Zhao Lin wanted to ask why he was interrogated so quickly, but he quickly realized that the strong blood on his body was obviously tortured.

His previous judgment on Xue Shu was not wrong at all.

"To mobilize the defense of the Eastern Palace, I need to ask His Highness for instructions." Zhao Lin was not in any trouble because he was also working for His Highness, and asked in a good-tempered manner: "Your Highness has already woken up. If you are in a hurry, you can go with me."

Xue Shu was moved first, and then remembered that the prisoner he had interrogated all night, his clothes were full of blood and dirt, it was fine for others to look at it, but it was not good to surprise His Highness.

Such a person should be in a high place, clean and tidy.

He shook his head and handed the suspect's confession to Zhao Lin: "I'll wait right here."

Zhao Lin didn't say any more, and hurried to find Yin Chengyu.

Yin Chengyu had just had breakfast and was reading in Hongren Hall.After hearing Zhao Lin's reply, he opened the window and looked into the distance, but only saw a vague shadow.

"There is no need to transfer manpower from the East Palace. You should inform Gong Hongfei that it is all right for him to compete with the East and West factories on weekdays. Don't delay the business that His Majesty told you. Ask him to send a team of captains to serve Xue Shu."

After Zhao Lin responded, he stepped back quickly.

Yin Chengyu saw him talking with Xue Shu through the window, and then they went out of Ciqing Gate together, probably to find Gong Hongfei's dignitary.

He snorted softly, and called Zheng Duobao in: "The day before yesterday I told you to ask the imperial physician to see Xue Shu's injury, what did the imperial physician say?"

Zheng Duobao was stunned for a moment, not knowing why His Highness suddenly brought up this issue today, but he still replied: "When Imperial Physician Liu passed by, Mr. Xue had already treated and bandaged the wound by himself. I don't worry, let Imperial Physician Liu I checked again. The wound was about a palm long, and it didn't hurt the bones. Physician Liu re-sewed up the skin and flesh, and applied medicine, saying that it will heal after half a month of care."

Yin Chengyu frowned subconsciously when he heard that he was going to be raised for half a month, but then he thought, Xue Shu himself doesn't care about his body, so why is he here eating radish and worrying about it?Really idle.

Xue Shu is not only tough in bones, but also extremely tough in life.

In the previous life, Yin Chengyu had seen those old scars on his chest, criss-crossing, and even a deadly one on his heart, but Xue Shu still lived well in the end?Still can toss him!

It is said that the scourge lasted for thousands of years, but Xue Shu's life was much longer than his.

Xue Shu led twenty school captains from Jinyiwei, and went straight to Xuanqiong Palace.

The Xuanqiong Palace is located in the east of the East Sixth Palace, and the eminent people invited by Emperor Longfeng recently were placed here. Except for the emperor's summons, the Taoist priests served the ancestors in the palace on weekdays, and few people came and went. It seemed a little deserted.

But today's Xuanqiong Palace is a bit too quiet.

Xue Shu ordered people to guard the exits of Xuanqiong Palace, and then led them to the residence of Taoist Wangchen.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he smelled a very slight smell of blood. Xue Shu narrowed his eyes, kicked the door open, and rushed in first——

In the main hall near the door, two Taoist priests were lying in a pool of blood with heavy wounds on their chests, and the blood trailed from the hall to the back.Xue Shu followed the bloodstains and saw the corpse hanging from the beam.

It is Taoist Wangchen.

Xue Shu looked at the swaying corpse, and suddenly looked sideways at the half-open window on the side. Dang even jumped out of the window and chased him out, but he was a step too late. No trace could be found.

Seeing that he could not catch up with anyone, Xue Shu returned to the house with a gloomy expression.

Taoist Wangchen's body had already been put down from the beam, and Jin Yiwei who followed said, "It seems that after internal strife broke out, he committed suicide in fear of crime."

Xue Shu didn't say a word, after walking around the corpse, his eyes flashed, and he said to the rest of the people: "Go outside and guard."

The others didn't know why, but he was the leader of the team at this time, so they had to obey the order and retreat.

After sending the man away, Xue Shu squatted down, stretched out his hand and felt carefully at Taoist Wangchen's throat, and sure enough, he felt an abnormal bulge.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and groping with his fingers, finally squeezed out a wax pill from Taoist Wangchen's throat.

The Taoist Wangchen probably knew that he was in danger, so he wanted to hide his life-saving things next to his body, but he probably didn't expect the person who killed him to come so fast, and he wanted to swallow the wax pill in a hurry, but he was caught in a panic. Choking, and being strangled by the killer to pretend to commit suicide, the wax pill was blocked in the esophagus.

If Xue Shu hadn't noticed that the body was swaying, he would have guessed that the killer had just left.You won't notice such subtleties.

Xue Shu squeezed the wax ball open, and found that half of the stamped salt quotation paper was hidden inside.

All the salt merchants in Dayan need this paper to sell official salt, and he has seen it in the hands of those salt merchants before.Each Yanyin "Yin" is divided into two volumes, the quantity and price of the book. After printing, it is cut into two halves. The first volume is kept on file as "Yingen"; Citation".

There is nothing special about the quotation paper hidden in the wax pellets, but Taoist Wangchen hid it so secretly, which is enough to show that the quotation paper is not simple.

Moreover, it is very suspicious for a Taoist priest to have the quotation paper of Yanyin in his hand.

Xue Shu put away the quotation paper, and just called for someone to come in to collect the body.

Now that there is a confession, Taoist Wangchen "suicide in fear of crime", the demon fox case can be closed.But Xue Shu was not in a hurry to return to Emperor Longfeng.

He had an intuition that the death of Taoist Wangchen might not be that simple.

In one day, Xue Shu went to Ciqing Palace twice to ask for an interview, but this time, he went back to Xichang to change into clean clothes beforehand.

When Xue Shu was lured by Zheng Duobao, Yin Chengyu was admiring the snow in the warm pavilion, tea was still being boiled in the small red clay stove in front of him, and the rising heat made his snow-white complexion slightly reddish, making him look more and more beautiful Korea.

"What's the matter?" Yin Chengyu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then continued to make tea by himself.

Probably because he was in a happy mood, he looked a little lazy.The rare gentle tone brings out a little familiarity that can only be gained after years of getting along.

Xue Shu fixed his eyes on his pale fingers that were attached to the handle of the teapot, and then he presented the paper: "Taoist Wangchen was killed, I found this."

"what?"

Yin Chengyu took it casually, but when he looked closely, he suddenly stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said in a surprised tone, "Yan Yin?"

His expression gradually turned solemn, and his reclining body sat up straight. He looked at the old quotation paper carefully for a while, and he seemed to have figured something out, and his brows and eyes burst into a smile.

Putting away the quotation paper, Yin Chengyu looked at Xue Shu with a rare kindness: "You did a good job, you made a great contribution this time."

——In the previous life, the eldest uncle Yu Chen was involved in a corruption case, and the decline of the Yu family began with Yanyin.

He originally thought that this was a trap specially set for the Yu family, but now it seems that after the Dongchuang incident, the people behind the scenes misled the water and pushed the boat along.

Xue Shu didn't know who was behind Taoist Wangchen, but he knew it from his previous life.

It was his third brother, Yin Chengjing.

Apart from the unborn Yin Chengyu, Emperor Longfeng now has four sons and one daughter.

The second prince, Yin Chengzhang, was born of Concubine Wen Gui, and he always acted in a public manner, but was bad on the bright side; the third prince, Yin Chengjing, was born of Concubine De, with a wild and unruly personality, loves love affairs, and likes to support actors.It seems that he has no intention of the throne, but he has been planning secretly for a long time; as for the fourth prince Yin Chengxu, he will be ten years old and has not yet shown his ambition.

Taoist Wang Chen is a member of Yin Chengjing, and now Yan Yin is involved, and he is absolutely inseparable from the official salt corruption case in the previous life, and his uncle Yu Chen is just a scapegoat.

Yin Chengyu lowered his eyes in thought, and called Zhao Lin after a while, and said, "Go and find out the origin of Taoist Wangchen." After a pause, he added: "There is also the scholar surnamed Zhao who was wiped out by the demon fox. Check."

He always felt that these few things seemed to be inextricably linked.

After Zhao Lin was ordered to retreat, Yin Chengyu looked at Xue Shu again, with a smile on his face, obviously in a good mood: "What reward do you want?"

After finishing speaking, he happened to see the dragon beard crisps in front of the table, so he said casually: "I remember that you also like this dragon beard crisps, so I will reward you." He lifted his chin, and Zheng Duobao understood, and put a plate of The untouched dragon beard crisp was brought to Xue Shu.

Xue Shu frowned in embarrassment, struggled for a while before picking up a piece and putting it in his mouth, and swallowed it whole without chewing.

He has never liked sweets, and the sweet dragon beard crisps are really boring.

Yin Chengyu noticed his expression and was a bit puzzled: "You don't like food?"

Xue Shu hesitated for a moment, afraid that Yin Chengyu would want him to eat, but finally told the truth: "I don't like sweets."

Yin Chengyu was slightly taken aback.

The reason why he remembered that Xue Shu liked to eat dragon beard crisps was because once when he played chess with Xie Yunchuan, the small kitchen happened to send dragon beard crisps.Xie Yunchuan had the same sweet taste as him, so he rewarded him with a plate.In the end, I don’t know why Xue Shu knew about it. After tossing about twice that night, he said in a strange way: “Our family also loves to eat dragon beard crisps. Why didn’t I see His Highness give a plate? People really care."

At that time, he was angry and annoyed, and out of revenge, he simply asked the small kitchen to send Xue Shu a plate of longxu crisps every day.

Such a sweet dessert, eating it every day, won't kill him.

Xue Shu still ate it every day at first, but he probably got tired of it later, so he refused to eat any more.After being stabbed a few times by him with words, she became angry from embarrassment and deliberately tortured him.Crushed the uneaten dragon beard crisps and sprinkled them on him.

After losing both sides several times like this, he stopped asking people to send dragon beard crisps to Xue Shu.

But now Xue Shu said that he doesn't like sweets at all!

After a little thought, Yin Chengyu figured out the reason—the dragon beard was crispy, but it was Xue Shu who found an excuse to torment him.

He sneered and said, "Don't eat if you don't like it, Zheng Duobao, take it out and pour it out."

Unexpectedly, he suddenly lost his temper, both Zheng Duobao and Xue Shu were stunned.

Zheng Duobao naturally didn't dare to disobey, he was about to go out and pour it out while holding the dragon beard cake.

On the contrary, Xue Shu saw that his eyes were burning brightly with anger. Although he didn't understand why he would make people unhappy if he didn't like dragon beard crisps, he immediately stopped Zheng Duobao and snatched the plate of dragon beard crisps down.

"I eat."

Looking at his face now, Yin Chengyu couldn't help but think back to those scenes in the past, and his anger became more and more intense. He sneered again and again: "If it weren't for the great achievements you made today, you wouldn't be eating dragon beard crisps, but It's a board!"

After finishing speaking, he glared at him fiercely, and walked away.

Zheng Duobao had never seen him lose his composure before, he was dumbfounded for a while, and hurriedly followed.

Only Xue Shu stood in the Nuan Pavilion with a plate of Longxu crisps.

He hesitated to pick up another piece and tasted it, then put it down with a frown, it was too sweet.

But His Highness likes to eat, so he can like it too.

The author has something to say:

Gougou: Why is Your Highness so angry again?

Your Highness: Ask yourself :)

Dog hook:?
